Knowledge Workers

Abstract

The contemporary world demand knowledge and skill-sets that can cope with the environmental flux and economic instability of the prevailing climate. How enterprises respond to such demands will determine whether they survive or perish. Especially within the context of globalization and its implication for recruiting knowledgeable workers, organizations must respond to such challenges by providing competitive learning environments that will foster learning and will allow knowledge workers to obtain optimal performance capable of withstanding and surviving the brutal force of globalization and other “knowledge-intensive companies” (Huang, 2011, p. 924).
